I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.

Down for the Count

Still struggling with the same crash. Two weeks now - that's pretty unusual for me and hopefully not the start of a trend.

My Mom came to visit for a few days this week. Even though I wasn't feeling well, I always enjoy her company, and it certainly helped to keep my mood up to have her here. I somehow managed dinner out with her and two friends, plus our book group. A very enjoyable evening, though I'm sure it didn't help my crash!

After dropping Mom off at the train station this morning, I spent the day on the couch under the quilt. Friday night now, with nothing ahead but some DVDs and lots of rest this weekend. You know how it goes - nothing to do but rest and wait...
